The 'Middle Earth Roleplaying Project' aims to recreate J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth in the Creation engine of 'Skyrim'. The player will be plunged into Middle Earth near the end of the Third Age, not long before the War of the Ring breaks out.

This is the first formal news since the port to Skyrim! As you can see it's going well... But we'll get to that in a minute. First let me introduce you to our new members:

Enjoiben - Interior/Exterior Design

Lochie - Interior/Exterior Design

Tomolyons - Cave/Dungeon/Exterior Design

Noakesy - Cave/Dungeon Design

onagotasolo - Concept Art

We are also delighted to have a couple of old members returning back:

Chestman - Concept Art

Sir Eoran - Graphic Design

Now to the good stuff!

Exteriors

As you know Rohan is the region we're working on at this point. Most of it has already been generated and it's currently being detailed with villages, towns, forests, rivers and so on.

Our first three finished villages are, the home of Grimbold of the Rohirrim, Grimslade, built by Unbekannter, a village in the Harrowdale, between Edoras and Dunharrow called Upboun, also built by Unbekannter, and a fishing village built along the Entwash in East Emnet, Fiscryne, built by Panos.

~Grimslade~

~Fiscryne~

We're also working on several exteriors now, so what should you expect to see in future updates? Here's a taste of what will come next:

The Dead Marshes

Isengard

Firien Wood

Helm's Deep

Aldburg & Faesholt villages

(The following images are Work In Progress)
~Dead Marshes~ ~Pre-Industrial Isengard~

~The Hornburg~

Caves

We have several unique and special caves in the works, but i'm only going to show you this goblin cave, made by Noakesy which will house a big number of them. It will be located somewhere in the South Misty Mountains.

~Goblin Cave~

The Paths of the Dead and the Glittering Caves are still in the works.

Visual Development

Alright, time to show you some of our latest finished models and concept art!
In cooperation with the TLD Team (they gave us the base models, BGS modified them), we have a good number of new houses for our Rohan towns. We are thankful to the TLD Team!

~Rohan Buildings~

Our team-member, BGS, did some really great and really important work on these! He has also created this set of Rohan weapons.

~Rohan Weapons~

We also have this very nice and detailed goblin sword made by vladimir:

~Goblin Sword~

Time for the concepts. After Chestman returned, he has created some beautiful concepts which we have already uploaded and are located under the images tab. But it wouldn't hurt if we took a look at them one more time right??

~Rohan Fortress - Angatur~ ~Pukel Man~

And here is his latest work:

~Rohan Stable~

Our new concept artist onagotasolo has also created some very cool concepts one of which is made into a model by tomato. Amazing work from both of them! Here is the Halifirien Beacon, the westernmost of the beacons in Anórien, located in the Firien Woods!

~Halifirien Beacon Concept~

That's all for now concerning the Visual Development. What to expect to see in future updates?

More Orc and Rohan gear and clothing

More Rohan buildings

Isengard and its walls

A lot more clutter and misc stuff

hi just two quicj questions
1.will there be tom bombadil mouth of sauron rtc characters
2.what happens to all draons in skyrim as well as shouts what will replace them(perhaps mounted nazguls)
thanks in advance and please dont send me an email which gets me to faq

1) stop posting these questions, you don't relise how irritating it is.
2) Dragons will not be in MERP appart from a very small number of lesser wyrms. Shouts will not exist (and I'm not sure how that leads on to Nazgul)
